Overwatch 2's triumphant return to China on February 19th brings a wealth of rewards and exciting events for players. This relaunch includes opportunities to earn Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1-9, participate in popular in-game events, and experience the thrill of Overwatch: Classic and new heroes previously unavailable.
A multi-week celebratory event will feature many missed events and rewards from the past two years. Players will be able to acquire Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1 and 2 before the official launch, with Seasons 3 through 9 becoming available through in-game events post-launch.
Season 15: A Chinese Mythology Infusion?
Intriguingly, Season 15 will showcase skin bundles inspired by Chinese mythology. Details remain scarce, leaving players to speculate whether these skins are existing or entirely new creations, and whether they will be exclusive to the Chinese market or part of a broader Season 15 theme. This potential theme mirrors the Norse mythology inspiration seen in Season 14. A full reveal is anticipated in early February.
In the interim, players globally can participate in the Min 1, Max 3 6v6 test (January 21st - February 4th), featuring the classic 2-2-2 team composition. The Lunar New Year and Moth Meta Overwatch: Classic events are also slated before Season 15. While Chinese players missed these events previously, they can anticipate unique celebrations upon the game's return.
